When I think of you my chest puffs out
Proud to share a connection with such a beautiful spirit no doubt
You are the essence of the love that I symbolize and embody
A beautiful, black, sister held to the highest decree

Intelligent, bright, perceptive and smart
You are the complete perfection of God’s best work of art
Creative, talented, gifted and driven
Great things are in your future, it’s obvious and a given

Never dumbing down just to obtain momentary attention
But you are highly regarded, a true honorable mention
It’s almost as if you KNOW and BELIEVE you were created for a reason
For you waste no time on inefficiencies resulting in duplicity or treason

You are the epitome of the fruits of the spirit
Galatians 5:22-23 has your name written all up in it
Love, joy and peace you represent from day to day
Your countenance is remarkable and displays in an extraordinary way

Patience, kindness, and goodness is but a small piece of your prize
For the angels are hovering over you protectively with admiration and prideful eyes
Last but not at all in the least are faithfulness, gentleness and self-control
You know how to keep it real without degrading yourself or selling your soul

Uplifting and encouraging, I could just continue on and on
Always setting aside your own needs to be someone else’s break of dawn
Without you there is no me and this world would never know the glory of your crown
And how a real, magnificent, beautiful, black sister really gets down!

Always love hearing the empowerment of women in poetic expression. Despite everything they go through and endure. Our sisters, our mothers, our grandmothers, our ancestors. Where would we be without their strength and their love?
